Maltese driver Jacob Micallef has finished his debut Spanish Formula 4 Championship season 13th overall and sixth in the Rookie standings following three strong recovery drives in Barcelona.
Competing for Campos Racing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Micallef gained 17 positions across the three races, bringing his first season in single-seater racing to a positive conclusion.
Qualifying proved challenging, with three red flags disrupting Saturday’s session and leaving him 21st on the grid for Race 1. He responded by climbing seven places to finish 14th.
In Race 2, interruptions from a Safety Car and red flag limited racing time, but Micallef still gained three positions to finish 13th.
Starting 20th in Sunday’s final race, he recovered another seven places to cross the line 13th, despite extended yellow-flag periods.
A total of 56 drivers competed in the 2026 championship. Micallef’s sixth-place finish in the Rookie classification marks a promising end to his first campaign.
